I have 50mbps of internet but my downloads on N_m3u8DL-RE are always capped at 6mbps. Nothing else is using any type of bandwidth when I use N_m3u8DL-RE but it still downloads at that speed. I tried using this “-R, --max-speed <SPEED>” to see if it would help but it never did. I don’t know if it’s something specific with my Terminal, because yt-dlp downloads slow too.
Is there a way to make N_m3u8DL-RE use more speed (Mbps)?
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays!

--max-speed sets the maximum speed limit. It doesn't magically increase the speed. It limits it.
You could play around with --thread-count to increase the number of threads from the default 8. Also you can use -mt to download multiple tracks simultaneously. But the speed is still going to be slow.--[----->+<]>.++++++++++++.---.--------.

try using --thread-count <number>

Video servers often limit the number of simultaneous threads and and how fast you can download. If that's the case for you there is no fix other than finding another source.

Are you by any chance going through a VPN? If so, try disabling the VPN and see if the speed increases.

I don't know if that's the case in my instance. I've seen someone else being able to download the files from that site much faster. Even though that person might have a higher internet speed than me, still feels like my download's aren't downloading at their full potential. -
